New Functionality in the Physics Interfaces
•
The Laminar Flow interface has a new Average Pressure constraint under Global features.
•
For the PDE interfaces, in the Auxiliary Dependent Variable and Dependent Variable Field features, it is now possible to set a space-dependent shape order for the shape functions that support it: Hierarchical and Hierarchical serendipity. The Element order list then has a new Expression option. When selected, an Element order expression field appears. The expression can be a parameter or a space-dependent expression, which must evaluate to a supported element order. You can, for example, use an if statement with a condition on the local mesh size h to use a lower element order where the mesh density is high.
•
Luminous flux and illuminance are now available as built-in physical quantities. They also represent two new units:
-
Luminous flux (light flux): unit lumen (symbol: lm), defined by candela per steradian (cd/sr)
-
Illuminance: lux (symbol: lx), defined by lumen per square meter (lm/m^2)
•
The Yeoh mesh smoothing method used by Moving Mesh and Deformed Geometry functionality has additional settings. You can now use a logarithmic volumetric strain and enable HuHu or HuHu-LuLu stabilization.
